Ahmad Shirzad


Ahmad Shirzad was a member of 6th Iran Parliament.
Ahmad Shirzad was among the hostage takers that took US diplomats hostage. The hostage taking was a well coordinated activity between Islamists and leftist activities, including Habibollah Peyman. Many of the hostage takers later on were shunned by Ali Khamenei and his followers. Once they were removed from the power, they tried to assume a new political identity by calling themselves reformists.
